The Schumacherverse is a fanmade term for Joel Schumacher timeline which officially designated as Earth 97 presented in Batman Forever and Batman & Robin, along with tie-in media such as Robin: Facing the Enemy and Batgirl: To Dare the Darkness.
In this reality, Batman fought crime in a more garish and colorful Gotham City. Though initially motivated by troubled memories of his parents' murder and its aftermath, he gradually learned to let go of vengeance and use the identity to help others. As his secret identity of Bruce Wayne, Batman would regularly attend charity and social events. Batman also fought crime alongside former circus acrobat Dick Grayson and his butler's niece Barbara Wilson, who used the identities of Robin and Batgirl respectively. The trio would battle gimmick-based criminals with madcap personalities, including vengeance-driven gangster Two-Face, mind-draining corporate mogul Riddler, cryogenic thief Mr. Freeze, and plant-based femme fatale Poison Ivy. Superman is also stated to be active in this reality.
Initially believed to be part of the "Burtonverse", various accounts suggest that the Schumacherverse was either a possible timeline or separate reality that followed similar events. However, a version of its Batman was later merged into the another reality after it's Flash altered events to prove his father's innocence in a crime, possibly merging the two realities together.
